Cymbre's Cranberry Relish

2 bags fresh cranberries (16 oz)

2 tart apples ( peeled and sliced)

10 oz. frozen raspberries

1/2 cup orange marmelade

1 t. lemon juice

1 cup sugar

Add all the above to a food processor and process till finely chopped. Will keep in refrigerator for six weeks! Enjoy! and if you know me at all you know that I can not follow a recipe to save my life...so this is what I did....Only 1 bag of cranberries, 2 granny smith apples, 12 oz bag frozen raspberries, 1 cup marmalade, no lemon juice, and 1/2 cup splenda. It was so tasty and so good for you! Makes alot and we are still eating it like jam on our toast in the mornings!

Really having fun using my own font! Want to go back and make another that is more precise...not like I don't have a million other things to do! Still working on putting cards together...have not even started the baking, but surprisingly early do have most of the shopping done! Ryan comes home on the 22nd! Can't wait to have the family all together again!

Last Day of November

Well, we got about a foot of snow and it is still falling!
Kelli and I put up some outdoor lights today and giggled wildly throughout the process! Also got pretty snow covered and brrrrr was it cold!
Still eating T-Day leftovers and they are YUMMY!
Perfected this year's Christmas Card and started putting it together while we watched "The Holiday".
Made my own signature font online for free. http://www.yourfonts.com/ This is too much fun!

Also have this cool site where you generate a old looking library card with your own text.


Looking forward to the holiday season...starting My Journal tomorrow!

Happy First Sunday in Advent!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh, It was a beautiful day! Will post pictures later! Around our table were Mike, Kelli, and I along with Chelsi, Megan, and Beau. Lots of food, lots of fun and lots to be THANKFUL for! The girls cooked most of the dinner and it was sooo yummy! Mike did the Turducken and I sat around telling people what to do...and I washed a few dishes! Also made a wonderful cranberry relish thanks to Cymbre!


Went shopping today and that was a first for me! Never done the BLACK FRIDAY thing before. And tonight 8 of us ate a new Italian place over off of Spenard. Very nice!

Tomorrow Kelli and I are taking a Viking Cooking School class at Allen and Petersen..."Around the World Cookie Swap"!

Getting READY to...

Did this last year and have pictures in a January post. Had so much fun and can't wait to get going for 2008!

This was fun!

You are Strength

Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.

This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.
